AceShowbiz - Amidst rumors of a rift, details have emerged about alleged incidents between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni during the filming of "It Ends With Us". According to TMZ sources, Baldoni, who suffers from back issues, sought advice from an on-set trainer regarding Lively's weight before a scene involving him lifting her.
Lively found this inquiry offensive, perceiving it as "fat-shaming" after giving birth to her fourth child just months prior. Another incident occurred during a kissing scene, where Lively felt Baldoni lingered for an uncomfortable amount of time.
These allegations have fueled speculation about tension between the co-stars, who have been absent from joint promotional events and have unfollowed each other on social media. Baldoni has reportedly hired a crisis PR manager, suggesting that the situation is far from resolved.
Rumors have also surfaced that Baldoni may not return to direct the film's sequel, with someone else possibly taking on the role. However, Baldoni has praised Lively's performance in interviews, calling it "transformative" and "impactful."
It remains unclear whether the reported incidents will have any further impact on the film or its promotion. As of now, Lively and Baldoni have not publicly addressed the allegations.
